Democratic Socialists of America – North Texas

Democratic Socialists of America believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically to meet human needs, not to make profits for a few. We are a political and activist organization, not a party; through campus and community-based chapters DSA members use a variety of tactics, from legislative to direct action, to fight for reforms that empower working people.

Democratic Socialists of America – North Texas is committed to the following:

Civil Rights: Every individual’s civil rights must be protected; discrimination and harassment based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or physical and developmental ability should be prohibited.

Economic Justice: Prosperity should be accessible to everyone, not merely the few.

Environment: We must commit to restoring and protecting our environment.

Limits on Corporate Power: Corporations are not people and money is not speech. Human beings alone are entitled to Constitutional Rights.

Health Care: Every individual should have affordable, quality health care.

Money Out of Politics: Having recognized money as the most corrupting influence in politics, we are committed to comprehensive legislation to reform campaign finance laws.

Education: It is essential that we invest in quality public education for all.

Reproductive Freedom: Women and men – not politicians – deserve the right to make personal decisions about their reproductive health in accordance with their own personal and moral beliefs.
